AboutLastWeekend, did you used to ride and jump fences? My sisters used to train their horses to jump, but I don't recall them ever actually riding them over fences like that. They did, quite by accident, train the dogs to jump the fences. And the dogs never forgot it.

I had a horse for two years that I found out later had never been broken in. So I can stay on a racing horse but can't do much else.. thanks for alerting me today to no notice about what has happened to your comment, will look into it. I have moderation but it should be saying that.

AboutLastWeekend, I wasted a year of my life trying to date a girl who trained race horses. She was blonde and beautiful and had not the slightest interest in me at all. But she had a lovely racehorse that someone ran half to death to the point that it wouldn't race anymore, so she got a good deal on it. Anyway, being able to ride a racehorse in the proper style is pretty impressive. I think my back would break or go into spasms before I could get all the way around the track for the first lap riding like that. I need handlebars. :-)
